silence

I read a quote about silence in a Nicholas Sparks book once. A character, who was enjoying a road trip with someone as they rode in silence, was wondering why so many people seem to think they have to “fill silence.” I agreed so wholeheartedly that I probably underlined the quote.

I’m a bona fide quote-underliner… which is why I don’t check out a lot of library books. It’d bankrupt me.

William Penn is, apparently, another strong appreciator of quietness.

The next time you feel you have the need to “fill” silence, ask yourself a very important question…. “Why?“
